Accessibility means that all people can use the web without restrictions. They should be able to perceive the web, understand it, navigate it, interact with it, and contribute to it.
Almost 8 million people in Germany have a recognized severe disability. According to a study by „Aktion Mensch“, these individuals are online 6.5 days a week and use the internet above average intensity. This means: They are extremely relevant online customers. For these 10% of the population, accessibility on the web is essential. We help you include every user.
The hmmh QuickCheck is an analysis of selected pages regarding their accessibility. We manually test meticulously where exactly the hurdles for users lie and where there is potential for optimizations. Here we refer to the 10 most common accessibility errors that occur repeatedly. Subsequently, our clients receive a detailed barrier report with concrete solution proposals for implementation by us or by their own development teams.
Essential for some, indispensable for others – a barrier-free website is helpful for everyone.
Why the QuickCheck and what will be tested?
The QuickCheck is a new service component from hmmh, in which we test up to nine pages for the 10 most common accessibility errors to prepare our clients for the upcoming accessibility law in 2025. All websites (including intranets), online shops, and apps that contain information about products and services, as well as electronic administrative processes, must then be barrier-free.
